See also:RAYMOND OF SABUNDE, or SABIENDE (fl. 1434) , See also:Spanish See also:scholar, was a teacher of See also:medicine and See also:philosophy and finally regius See also:professor of See also:theology at See also:Toulouse . His See also:Liber naturae sive creaturarum, &c . (written 1434-36), marks an important See also:stage in the See also:history of Natural Theology . The See also:book was directed against the position then generally held, that See also:reason and faith, philosophy and theology were antithetical and irreconcilable . See also:Raymond declares that the book of Nature and the See also:Bible are both Divine revelations, the one See also:general and immediate, the other specific and mediate . The Editio Princeps of the book, which found many imitators, is undated but probably belongs to 1484; there are many subsequent See also:editions, one by J . F. von Seidel as See also:late as 1852 . In 1595 the Prologus was put on the See also:Index for its See also:declaration that the Bible is the only source of revealed truth . See also:Montaigne (Essays, bk. ii. ch. xii., " An Apologie of Raymond Sebond ") tells how he translated the book into See also:French and found " the conceits of the author to be excellent, the contexture of his See also:work well followed, and his project full of pietie . . . . His See also:drift is bold, and his See also:scope adventurous, for he undertaketh by humane and naturall reasons, to establish and verifie all the articles of See also:Christian See also:religion against Atheists." See D . Beulet, Un Inconnu celebre: recherches historiques et critiques sur Raymond de Sabunde (See also:Paris, 1875) .
